Full-Time Public Enemy

"They are very strong," the Cyclops said. "I couldn't even penetrate the inner layers of the castle. I was defeated again and again at the periphery. The last time, I almost charged to my death before I broke through the outer defenses, only to be defeated by a member of royalty in the inner layer. I feel that in the outer defenses, there are no fewer than twenty people at my level, and in the inner layer, at least ten are several times stronger than me."

Chen Gu nodded and gently patted the top of his head. "Don't worry, My God has already prepared a place for your family in His kingdom. Go and rest."

「...」

What was supposed to be a three-day journey had been extended by two days due to the trip to and from the bandits' lair. Finally, on this day, they arrived sixty kilometers outside the city of Potsdam. It would be just over half a day's travel to reach the city. But suddenly, lightning flashed and thunder roared. The sky became covered with dark clouds, and before long, heavy rain poured down. This season was the rainy season; during their previous days of travel, they had frequently encountered drizzling rain.

The followers looked up at the sky. Old Charles wiped the rainwater from his face and said to Chen Gu, "Prophet, I'm afraid this rain won't stop anytime soon." For Chen Gu and his fellow Professionals, progressing in the rain was not an issue, but it was for the rest of the followers.

He gestured lightly with his hand. "Let's find a place to shelter from the rain."

They were not far from the main city, so there were considerably more traveling merchants and passersby. When they found a large cave to shelter from the rain, several groups of people were already inside taking refuge. Among them were two caravans; the rest were ordinary travelers.

These people were very wary when they saw Chen Gu's group, as they were numerous, and the Cyclops and his companions clearly didn't look like good people. Chen Gu restrained his men, "Don't disturb the others."

They occupied a space and started fires to dry their clothes. But the rain truly poured without end. They waited for most of the day, but not only did it not stop, it continued to pour relentlessly, showing no sign of letting up. Outside the cave, streams had formed on the surrounding hillsides, flowing with a RUSHING sound.

As night fell, although there were campfires, all the ordinary people in the cave were cold and hungry. The travelers and the caravans didn't have much food left. They had timed their journey carefully, so seeing that they were close to their destination, their food supplies were naturally almost depleted. They had eaten at noon, so there wasn't much left for the evening.

Chen Gu saw that everyone was famished. He thought for a moment before stepping forward. Standing before the bonfire, his figure seemed to be bathed in a golden light. "My God says, 'I grant you food.'"

Then, with a great RATTLE, an abundance of food spilled from the Dimensional Prison Ring!

The followers were no longer as shocked by the miracles the Prophet performed. They felt only devotion and gratitude. They knelt neatly on the ground, kowtowing continuously and murmuring praises to the "Great True God," then took the food in an orderly manner and went to cook.

But the travelers and members of the caravans stared, dumbfounded. What was happening? Could food appear out of thin air? These... who on earth were these people?

However, one of the travelers hesitated for a moment before stepping forward and asking, "Fellow believer?"

The two quickly confirmed each other's identities. The traveler couldn't help but ask, "What... what just happened?"

The follower told the traveler, "That was a miracle performed by the Prophet."

"The Prophet?" This believer had never heard that the "Great True God" had a prophet walking the earth.

"'The Prophet is our God's chosen one, the messenger sent by our God to lead us from darkness to light. His presence proves that our God is omnipotent!" the follower proclaimed. He then went on to describe the various miracles the Prophet had performed for the traveler.

The traveler listened in astonishment. Instinctively, he felt it was impossible. But then he recalled the food Chen Gu had just "bestowed" out of thin air, and he couldn't help but believe.

The follower shook his head. "Your faith in our God is not strong enough. I cannot introduce you to the Prophet."

The traveler was immediately filled with regret and knelt. "I too am willing to give up everything to follow the Prophet!"

But the follower said, "You are not yet worthy."

Their conversation caught Chen Gu's attention. He inquired, "What's wrong?"

The follower reported truthfully, emphasizing, "His faith cannot compare to ours." But Chen Gu thought for a moment. With a wave of his hand, more food appeared out of thin air. "My God says, 'All living beings in the world are My lambs. Bestow this food upon them.'"

The followers quickly agreed and distributed this food to the others. The travelers thanked them profusely and took the opportunity to learn more about the "Great True God." The caravans, however, remained cautious. They waited until all the followers had eaten before they started consuming the food in batches. After the first group ate without any issues, the others continued to eat.

The followers felt somewhat indignant about this, but Chen Gu didn't mind at all. He simply provided the food and didn't concern himself with anything else.

The rain persisted until early morning. It only began to lessen by mid-morning before finally stopping. As soon as the rain lightened, the caravans eagerly departed. After the rain stopped, the travelers followed Chen Gu and his group out of the cave.
